Burial of the Rabbit

The Entierro del Conejo (Burial of the Rabbit) is a symbolic event that marks the end of the El Paso Carnival, where locals and visitors bid farewell to the festivities in an atmosphere full of humor and tradition. Inspired by carnival funeral parodies, the event features a satirical funeral procession, where a large papier-mâché rabbit is carried to its symbolic burning, representing the conclusion of the celebrations. Amid mock mourning, extravagant costumes, and lively music, this unique ritual turns the farewell into one last chance for laughter and revelry, offering an irreverent and festive finale to the carnival.
